Frequently Asked Questions
What is Acrifix glue used for?
Acrifix glue is a solvent-based adhesive used to bond acrylic (PMMA) sheets and components. It is commonly used in fabrication, signage, displays, shopfitting, and acrylic glazing where a clear, strong, and permanent bond is required.
What materials can Acrifix glue bond?
Acrifix glue is designed specifically for acrylic (PMMA). It is not suitable for bonding polycarbonate, PVC, PETG, or other plastics. For best results, both surfaces should be clean, dry, and made from compatible acrylic materials.
Does Acrifix glue dry clear?
Yes. Acrifix cures to a clear, near-invisible bond line when applied correctly. This makes it suitable for applications where appearance is critical, such as display cases, signage, and clear acrylic fabrications.
How is Acrifix glue applied?
Acrifix is typically applied using capillary action with a needle applicator or syringe. The parts must be accurately positioned before application, as the solvent quickly penetrates the joint and begins bonding almost immediately.
How long does Acrifix glue take to cure?
